Hardly.

I've payed tax as a self-employed taxi driver for well over a decade, and also worked professionaly in taxation for a while, and I didn't know what it meant.

Tax reference number, yes, UTR, no. Not offhand anyway.

Clearly it's a big issue in Dundee though, but perhaps it's not the same everywhere. 8-[

Edinburghs had the TRN for a while now,tho you don't have to fill it in as only your employer can ask for it as far as i'm aware.

It's something to do with data protection if I remember right.

Brum has had a box on all licence applications, be they driver, vehicle or operator for your National Insurance number for about 15 years now.
